Urdu Language Through Conflicts

Language is medium of communication for all users. Every language moves through different phases to make it self-innovative and comprehensive for its users. Language helps its users to preserve their identity across the world. European, Malaysian, Chinese all are renowned for their languages.
Urdu is a national language of Pakistan and official language in few parts of India. Unfortunately since the evolution of Urdu language, it has been exploited for political and personal gains. Through all conflicts it has managed to keep its versatility and beauty of words, simple structure and soft accent with the speakers.
Whenever, Urdu has faced a hard time its users have come up to work for its betterment and development. Famous poets like Iqbal, Sir Syed Ahmed khan, Mir and more have worked in their own capacities to preserve the legacy of language.
 Today Urdu is being neglected by its own users. They are reluctant to use it as source of communication. Western culture has set them to learn more about English.
Rise of English medium schools have reduced opportunities for speakers to learn and shine with Urdu language. It is duty of state that it should make sure all educational institutions are providing their students a platform for apt understanding of language. Further for all educational institutes, official language should be Urdu so it can motivate people to learn and understand the importance of Urdu language.
Urdu has always served its speakers and has transformed itself to a complete and modern language, now it is responsibility of its speakers to contribute for its development and progress.
